- Your basic speed is 5.75, and you SUBSTRACTED 0.25?? I would advise either to ADD 0.25 (upgrading your move, speed and dodge by 1) or SUBSTRACT 0.75, since its rounded down anyway.

- You can use Esoteric Medicine instead of first aid. Still, magical healing would mean that a doctor would probably be part of the Church. They also use magery but they have access to the Healing school, and limited access to the other ones (consider it). Also you spent a LOT in Surgery...

I havent figured out all the in's an outs of the Curch of Light.. they monopolize the Healing school of magic, no one can learn spells of that school without access to the books they only have and keep secret.

I'm not sure if they would ALLOW anyone to leave the church (I wouldn't).
One idea I had is that priests have their forearms covered in tatoos representing rank, if you are an ex priest, maybe you have a Dark Secret disadvantage (if the church finds out you went rogue they will chase you).

Also, I haven't defined WHAT means to be a priest, what would you like it to be?

I think a preist is a vessel of the power of the Church, not neccesarily and religious functionary. However it's an inescapable bond, and those who no longer work for the actaul organisation still have the power of the Light, but are hunted relentlessly becasue their rebellion suggests that you don't need the Church to have the Light.

I could have faked my death when younger? Those tattoos are an awesome idea.

I could be a around 50, and will rebuild my character ever so slightly. I'm likely to be cynical, sharp and grumpy, but still beleive in the Light, just not the church.

In my world I picture magic of all kind as having 3 pillars:- Ambient Mana, you use it to power your spells. Using it makes you tired or consumes your reserves (FP or Mana)

- Personal power. Magery is a measure of how well you attune to ambient Mana

- Knowledge. How well do you know a given spell.

The third one is the key. Any wizard could learn healing, but the Church of Light are the only ones who KNOW how to, and they keep that secret jealously. Also, teaching it without the books they hold very close would be VERY difficult.

So, you don't lose your powers by leaving the Church or by the will of some deity

It is also not necessary to be so old, you can have left the Church at any time.

Consider getting a -30 point SECRET disadvantage:

Possible Death:

Your Secret is so

terrible that you might be executed bythe authorities, lynched by a mob, orassassinated (by the Mafia, CIA, etc.)were it revealed. You would be a huntedman. -

30 points.

Also, Church of Light mage-priests tend to specialize in spells of the following schools:

Backstory Outline
-Born in a poor city in the Federation
-Became a priest when his magic was discovered, which happened to most Talents in the slums
-grew to be a very telented healer
-schism with church, resulting in fire in a temple, fakes death and flees the Federation to Wlasny.
-Joined mage's guild and signed up as a ship mage/doctor on various ships throughout the mountains. If he feels he needs to use healing magic, he puts his patient magically to sleep first, and makes sure to leave shallow wounds that he then stiitches by hand. Few skysailors have the medical know how to question his methods any further.
